Something New

When she opened the door, she was faced with three boys on her doorstep. She placed a smile on her face.

"Hey guys. C'mon in. I've got news." The three boys followed the rainbow haired girl into the house and to the living room; (that is, after she had locked the door). The boys looked around the house.

"Nice place you got there, Crash." Dumbbell commented with an added chuckle.

"Thanks. I guess." Rainbow's response was hesitant. They reached the living room and sat down on the couches in the room. After a moment, the room was quiet. The boys saw Dash twiddling with her thumbs and bouncing her right knee.

"Hey, Crash. You okay?" Rainbow looked up when Dumbbell called her. She looked back down, crossed one leg over the other, and bit her thumb. She shook her head no. She took her thumb out of her mouth and signed. She looked back up at the boys.

"I don't know if this is a congratulation for you guys or not but," she sucked in her breath and spoke, "I'm pregnant." The room was one again quiet. "Guys. How is this going to work? I mean... well... I-I don't know. What are we gonna do? I suppose you could leave me. Probably seems better that way." She looked down, away from the boys. Then three boys looked at one another in shock. Did she really think that it was best to leave her alone? Dumbbell sighed, shook his head, walked over to where Dash was sitting, sat down next to her, and pulled her into a hug. She nuzzled in and quietly whimpered. He spoke.

"You said it yourself earlier today, Crash. You heard us when we were talkin'. We ain't leaving you alone in this position. It ain't fair to leave you alone. Not now, especially in what you're gonna go through. We're not leaving you like this." Rainbow smiled.

"That's probably the nicest thing that you've ever said to me." She giggled and the boys around her chuckled. Dumbbell picked her up and placed her in his lap while Score and Hoops sat next to their friend. Rainbow sighed and relaxed into Dumbbell's grasp and smiled when Score and Hoops kissed her cheeks and Dumbbell kissed her forehead. She closed her eyes in pleasure knowing she was in safe hands, but they immediately snapped open when she heard her phone ringing. She groaned and the boys laughed. She stood up and grabbed her phone.

"Sorry boys. Duty calls."

"Take your time, Crash!" She rolled her eyes and answered the call.

"Sup. This is Rainbow Dash speaking. How can I help you." The boys laughed.

"Rainbow Dash! You know that that's very unladylike!" Rainbow withdrew the phone from her ear sharply.

"Yeesh Rares. No need to yell. Look, why are you calling me. Didn't I tell you girls that I was going to be busy talking to the boys? I thought I made that clear." Dash growled to herself. "Alright. What do you guys want? I don't really want to deal with phone calls right now." She heard Rarity snort on the other side of the phone.

"I'm not the only one on this end of the line, Darling." Dash rose a brow.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that we're here too, Dashie!" Rainbow recognized that voice anywhere.

"Pinkie?!"

"Not just her, Rainbow." Five other voices spoke at the same time. Rainbow froze, then shook her head, snapping out of her trance.

" Why are you guys calling me? And why now?" There was a long pause with no sound. Dash groaned and ended the call. "Well that was interesting." She set her phone down on the coffee table in front of her and sat back down in Dumbbell's lap while he pulled her closer to him. She snuggled in deeper to his touch while he slightly lifted Rainbow's shirt to place his hand on her still flat stomach. He gave it a light pat.

"Ya know. I can't wait till this starts showing a lot more." Hoops and Score put their own hands on her stomach.

"Gotta agree with you there, Dumbbell." Hoops stated. Score nodded his head in agreement.

"We have a while till I start showing you know. Like a few months. And then at five months I'll be able to see the genders. We still have quite some time." Score chuckled.

"Well, those first few months can go by pretty quickly." And boy was he right.
